Everyday Systems

Hmmm... Last week didn't turn out so well. Although I was okay with portions, I just couldn't stay away from the sweets. However, I did do much better with exercise. I got lots and lots of walking in. However, irc, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were all Red Days. Ah well, back up on that horse I go!

I think your 10,000 steps a day goal is awesome. I just bought an inexpensive pedometer and it only measures in miles and kms, but with a little research and math I've figured out that at my stride length 10,000 steps equals 4.73 miles. I've only worn my pedometer during my intended urban ranger wal...

Thanks for the welcome, reneew. I just checked your thread. Congratulations of you progress. That's awesome and inspiring.

Okay, I'm not off to a good start. I started the No S Diet last week. While I have been about 80% successful (2 slip-up days - one day some cake a bridal show and just last night a few chocolates my friend offered me as her dinner guest), I'm most disappointed that I didn't get this daily log-in sta...
